Welcome
to the University of Colorado Radiology Residency Program!
  The program at the University of Colorado is unique in many respects. Three characteristics of the program
in particular are worth mentioning specifically:
Exposure
to a variety of pathology and practice settings
Our
residents are exposed to multiple practice settings due to the ability to
rotate through five different affiliated hospitals. Each hospital has a
distinct focus and area of expertise. Transplantation, oncology, trauma care,
pediatrics, vascular disease, and care for pulmonary disorders are all
nationally acclaimed at the hospital affiliates. In addition to the
diverse pathology, the residents are exposed to multiple diverse practice
settings and have to ability to learn from many different faculty
members. This leads to a very broad-based and subspecialty educational
experience.
Active
education and research program
The
educational mission at the University of Colorado remains a vital focus for the
entire department. There is a favorable faculty to resident ratio
(currently with 56 physician faculty and 32 residents at all the hospitals).
Daily conferences are given at three of the hospitals, with
teleconferencing for the remainder of the residents. In addition to the
daily conferences, there is a weekly block time dedicated to didactic lectures
for the residents as well as lectures on research methodology and the
socioeconomics of radiology practice. Research months may be requested in
addition to normal elective months, and all residents are given the opportunity
to go to the AFIP. Greater than 90% of the graduates in the past 5 years
have pursued fellowships, and the all have obtained positions at their first or
second choice programs.
Facilities
and location
The
University of Colorado Hospital is part of a new (2007) billion dollar medical
complex situated just east of downtown Denver. The entire hospital, as
well as the medical school and research facilities, is all brand new with
state-of-the art radiology equipment. In addition, due to its location
the University of Colorado offers access to the Rocky Mountain region and all
that it has to offer - indeed, we are one of only two radiology residency
programs in the region.
The faculty
and residents at the University of Colorado believe very strongly in our
educational, research, and clinical missions. We further believe
that we offer candidates many unique experiences during their residency that
cannot be found elsewhere. We look forward to showing our program to you!
